About

In August of 2010, our small church found itself without a music leader or accompanist. At the time, I was serving a 4-year term as deacon and had been the treasurer for nearly 5 years.  As many of you know, in a small congregation, you often wear many hats.  Since I was one of only a few who had any musical experience, I stepped up to the plate and offered my meager skills to lead our small flock in singing praises to God.  In the past 2 and 1/2 years, I have learned much about worshipful music and the history behind it.  I started this site to capture the lessons I have learned so that I might be a help to other lay/volunteer music leaders (and vice-versa) who find themselves with limited skills and resources but with a desire to tune their hearts to sing His grace and “call for songs of loudest praise.”
